OH SHI -- [Hayasdan gone wild]

Just take a look at this:

I'm playing Romani, with no force diplomacy.

Wow, the Grey Death got owned.... And why is that chunk between Carthage and Egypt Seleucid?

**Hax** · 01-05-2009, 16:07

Kyrene has the Seleucids listed as their faction_creator. This line is necessary to decide to what faction this province will rebel.

How long have they been in direct contact with the Ptolies? I had a very nice Pontos AI until the yellow death virtually wiped them out. Hopefully this wont happen here.

Well, as of now Pontos is at war with the Ptolies, though Makedonia (which became Pergamon) has also taken three Ptolemaic settlements.

I don't think the Ptolemies can handle the AS, Pontos and Makedonia/Pergamon at the same time (and maybe Hayasdan and Pahlava too, later on).

WOW an armenia that DOESNT go for teh steppes. Thats impressive.

The best I've ever seen Hayasdan, and they'd nabbed Hyrkania as well.

If I blur my eyes a bit Pontos and Hayasdan look similar. Though they are more distinct from eachother than Ptolemaioi-Seleukids, to me.

Not that you are, but colorblindness is actually quite common. 7% of all human males are colorblind to some extent, many unaware of it.

Agreed, although I think Qarthadast/Seleukids look the most similar.

Actually, the Sarmatians and Saba look most similar to me. I would never have noticed, but I had a Sarmatian campaign where I conquered the Seleukid Empire, making my Empire kind of close to the Saba, and so on the mini-map it looked like I also controlled Arabia.

In my Roman campaign its 134BCE, and early in the game the Hay expanded into the steppes reaching the northern shores of the Black Sea. But a prolonged war with Pontus forced them to move armies south and with the Sauromatae counter attack they lost them all. But with the rapid expansion of the Pahlava, with home they are allies they keept the Pontic armies at bay, for now.

Cheers.
